The draft laws “On Amendments to RA Law on “Environmental Impact Assessment and Expertise", "On Amendments to RA Soil Code”, “On Making Amendments to RA Code on Administrative Offenses", "On Making Amendments to RA Law on State Duties", and "On Making Amendments to Law on Licensing" have been circulated on the unified website, www.e-draft.am, designed for publishing draft legal acts.
The initiator of the changes is RA Environment Ministry. The Law on Environmental Impact Assessment and Expertise has been drafted in a new edition, the processes related to the development of a constitutional document with a possible impact on the environment and human health, and the provision of an expert opinion have been simplified.
It should be noted that the Law on Environmental Impact Assessment and Expertise, which regulates the process of environmental expertise, has been criticized by the environmental community for years. The professional community is expected to present its position on the proposed amendments. You can get acquainted with the package of legislative amendments here.
